Description
In this unflinchingly honest and darkly humorous novel, a new mother grapples with the profound disorientation and despair of postpartum depression. As she navigates the overwhelming realities of motherhood, marriage, and her own identity, she embarks on a raw and furious exploration of her past and present. The narrative delves into themes of love, loss, artistic ambition, and the struggle to reconcile the self with societal expectations, all set against a backdrop of personal and perhaps even societal collapse. Watkins's distinctive voice offers a searingly intimate portrait of a woman at her breaking point, bravely confronting the darkness within and without.
